European leaders gather in Paris to discuss Ukraine security strategies

European leaders are meeting in Paris to discuss security strategies amid U.S. plans for talks with Russia regarding Ukraine. This gathering includes leaders from Germany, Britain, Italy, and others, aiming to address Europe's role in any potential peace deal. The meeting was organized quickly by French President Emmanuel Macron, reflecting concerns over Europe's exclusion from U.S.-led discussions. Leaders will focus on commitments needed for both short-term peace and long-term security against Russia's actions. This informal meeting is expected to be the first of several as European nations seek to enhance their collective security in light of changing dynamics with the U.S. and Russia.
